Smart Washing Machines Industry 2020 is expected to reach $12.48 billion in 2023

 Artificial Intelligence is expected to be a trend in smart washing machine market. AI uses a simulation of human intelligence into machine. These machines are programmed with AI technology to think and function like humans. For instance, LG electronics newly released smart washing machine LG thinkQ which uses Artificial Intelligence and analyses the wash load and suggests the wash settings accordingly. Similarly, Samsung released Samsung Grande AI washer and drier in January 2020 which uses Artificial Intelligence for effective ways to laundry and connect with drier to ease the process of laundry. AI-programmed smart washing machines are expected to ease the process of laundry.

The global smart washing machine market is expected decline from $7.85 billion in 2019 and to $7.59 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.22%. The decline is mainly due to economic slowdown across countries owing to the COVID-19 outbreak and the measures to contain it. The market is then expected to recover and reach $12.48 billion in 2023 at CAGR of 18.03%.

Smart washing machine utilizes wireless technology (such as WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, etc.) to communicate and interact with other devices or networks. Therefore, the cost of smart washing machine is high compared to conventional washing machine. The smart washing machine cost ranges from $650 to $2500 compared to conventional ones which ranges from $100 to $1000. The cost will also depend on the size of the washing machine, with larger units fetching higher prices, such as a Samsung 16kg front load washing machine, which retails for around $3,000. Although the higher expense of smart washing machine with a comparable build quality to a regular washing machine is not unreasonable, the high cost of these washing machines would hinder the demand and growth of the smart washing machine market.
